VebellEdward T. Vebell, born in Chicago (1921-2018), attended art school age 14. His ability as a draftsman, with superb drawing skills got him recognized in those early pre-war days and generated a career as an illustrator from when as a teenager in the 1930s he earned $350.00 a week to the present day when he has grudgingly entered semi-retirement.When the war broke out, Ed enlisted and the Army, in its great wisdom, put him into a camouflage company--”a painter is a painter” in the eyes of the Army. Ed was probably saved from combat injury or worse when quite by accident he joined the Army publication “The Stars and Stripes” as a combat artist. Ed also had the distinction of serving a dual role in a similar capacity with Yank Magazine. During these years till war end, he was a photographer as well as an artist. The touchstone of Ed’s military career came when he participated as the courtroom artist in the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials in 1945. Aside from his career as an illustrator, he was an Olympic fencer and World Champion. He married an accomplished practitioner of the sport, and moved to Westport, Connecticut, an active community of celebrated illustrators during America’s mid-century. He joined the growing ranks of “Famous Illustrators” of which he was the last remaining member.

About this piece, in the words of the Artist: “I grew up in the country and spent much of my youth rambling through the fields, woods and foothills that surrounded my boyhood home in Placerville, California. A love of country places that hearkens back to my childhood shines through the many rural scenes I painted in the mid and late 1980s. In “Dusk in the Valley” a peaceful, fertile farm is guarded by great sentinel mountain peaks. Fences lend a touch of order to the valley and suggest a benign human presence; the grazing cattle always seemed peaceful to me when I met them on my walks. But the scene is not all tranquility; there is drama and energy as well, courtesy of a blazing, golden sunset that seems almost to be a celestial spotlight shining down from the heavens. It may be that, as my life as an artist became more demanding and complex, I turned instinctively to scenes like “Dusk in the Valley”, that recalled my roots, my childhood. But even here, the theatrical sunset seems to promise an exciting tomorrow.” Est. $500-600 HWAC# 133771

This is a remarkable and previously unpublished map showing the relative locations of the following lodes from waht may be the very beginning of the discovery period in 1863: (from south to north) Brown & Butler; Penobscot; Naiad Queen; Burra Burra; Espinasena; North River; Sterling Co.; Achilles; and a few more. The mills of the Boston Co. and the Oregon Co are shown, along with the Overland Trail at the left edge of the map, north of all else shown. The ore house for the Naiad Queen is also shown. A pencil note was added later on the Oregon Mill, “now Manhattan Co.”.This may possibly be the very first map drawn of the “ore” veins in this scetion of the Reese River District, as most or all of these were given other names very soon. Interestingly, no portion of this map is identified on the Lander Hill (Reese River) map of Raymond in Mineral Resources West of the Rocky Mountains, 1869, opposite p78. Further, no mention is made in that chapter of Central and Union hills, even though the Oregon Co.’s mill appears to show on the 2 maps. The district was discoverred in December 1862, and a mini-rush ensued in 1863. But thin veins, coupled with the remote location and lack of infrastructure caused a slow-down in production (only $16,000 in 1863!), such that most of 1864 and the start of 1865 were mostly idle, according to Abbe in Austin and the Reese River Mining District, 1985. The Civil War also had its pull. This map was drawn as the district started to come back to life after the Civil War. The Oregon Mill was built in ept. 1863, one of the first handfull of mills built between August and September. In MArch, 1864, and one of the most successful of the first mining companies. That company built a roasting furnace as part of the Mill complex, shown by the multiple buildings on this map.

The mine has been in operation since the beginning of the 20th century and is expected to remain in operation until at least 2032. Bingham Canyon was a city formerly located in southwestern Salt Lake County, in a narrow canyon on the eastern face of the Oquirrh Mountains. The Bingham Canyon area boomed during the first years of the twentieth century, as rich copper deposits in the canyon began to be developed, and at its peak the city had approximately 15,000 residents. By the 1970s, almost the entirety of the town had been devoured by the mine, and the few remaining residents voted to disincorporate and abandon the community. No trace of Bingham Canyon remains today. Ken Prag CollectionEst. $300-700 HWAC# 138951Lot# 4152 pre-1900 WH Jackson Photos of Mexico incl.

Loerpabel was a mining engineer and the general manager for South America for Asarco and lived in rural San Luis Potosi for many years. Upon his return to the States he settled in Tucson, Arizona, into a home originally designed as the personal residence of renowned Tucson architect Josias Joesler. The Loerpabel’s home was featured in the Tucson Citizen in a December 1958 article. The home still exists. Loerpabel was later listed as one of the Outstanding Residents of Tucson’s Blenman-Elm Neighborhood 1903-1960 when that area was seeking designation in the National Register of Historic Places in the early 2000s.

Lloyd is the same treasurer as several other Tombstone companies as well including Intervener, and Cincinnati where Whipple was also president. Girard was one of the first mines to build there own mill in camp in Tombstone. Mines had gone deeper in their search for silver gold ores. Once they hit the level 500 or so, the water table table was encountered, and pumps had to be installed to rid the mines of water. The Girard company was the first to build a mill using their own water, but in the aftermath, was unable to locate, economic quantities of paying ore. The company milled ores from the Contention and Tranquility to help pay for the mill. Then in 1884 they were successful in finding good ore for themselves, which lasted about a year. They sold the mill to the Tombstone M&MC in 1886, who moved their facilities there from Charleston. The company invested in other mines around Arizona whithout much success. {red: Tenney.

Very plain, 1/3-sheet size (4 x 7.75”), on creme paper with black print. State of New Jersey is printed at left border. Datelined New Brunswick, February, 1849. The New Brunswick-California company began advertising for Gold Rush patrons/investors in January of 1849 and by the end of the month were completely sold out. They procured a ship and set sail for San Francisco aboard the “Isabel” in on February 7th with forty eight passengers. After 179 days at sea the Isabel arrived in San Francisco on August 5, 1849. The crew reached Sacramento on August 14, only three miles from Sutter’s Fort, where a lot was purchased, and construction began. Unfortunately the company ended up failing, largely due to so many of the men aboard eventually passing away from scurvy.

Issued in London, Dec. 10, 1874. Certificate is 8 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches. Extremely rare. The IXL was one of the earliest and richest claims made in Alpine County. The IXL was discovered in summer, July 1, 1861 (the same day as the Buckeye No. One was taken up); describing the location of the lower IXL tunnel, just 537 feet from the higher-up Accacia (per Chalmers’ Exchequer Officials, 1871-2, May 22, 2871, p. 48-49; 54; 56; 67). IXL was located 1,700 feet lower down the Canyon than Exchequer, which was higher up (1871-2 Private p. 535, March 21, 1873). A later report indicates that the discoverers of this mine “are said to have taken out over $50,000 from a space 40 feet long and 22 feet high, within 50 feet of the surface” in 1861, and that 1,000 tons milled in 1863 averaged $250 a ton by assay (but milled at $125 a ton). (Jan. 1922, Report of State Mineralogist). The IXL was mentioned in the Letters of Henry Eno, “In 1867, the IXL Superintendent [probably Slaven ] was telling Henry Eno that the lode – which had produced $18,000 to $20,000 until the lode pinched out a year and a half before, was now back into a “well-defined lode of 8 feet wide of the very richest kind of ore” and he wished he had money to buy stock (Letters of Henry Eno, p. 160). In May he noted, “At Silver Mt. there is a mine called the IXL (I excel) which has also struck a very rich lode, but they try to keep it secret. But have got so many to help keep it that it has leaked out.” (p. 163, May 15, 1867). Chalmers, the famous (well, here in Alpine) mining capitalist who represented a London consortium of investors and siphoned British investor money into the mines here in Alpine over a twenty-year period, who became interested in the I.X.L. in 1871. Chalmers says it is to the IXL that Alpine Co. was indebted for its very existence, saying the IXL “in 1862-3 created no small excitement in mining circles and gave birth to the town of Silver Mountain” (1871-2 “Private” p. 49 and p. 535).

He was the Assistant and then United States Secretary of the Navy, served as the 42nd Governor of New Jersey and was commonly known as “Lord Edison”. Thomas Edison gave his son, Charles the position of President of the Diamond Disc Shop, Incorporated as soon as the company was organized to fill an important role in supplying records for the latest and greatest Edison phonograph, the Diamond Disc Phonograph, introduced in 1912. In the years just after World War I, Americans loved listening to music on their phonographs. The Edison Diamond Disc phonograph incorporated specially designed technology resulting in very little wear to records and superior sound quality with reduced surface noise. The records, or Diamond discs, were vertical cut, 10”s in diameter, 1/4” thick, and designed to play at 80 rpm; they held up to five minutes of recorded sound on each side, compared to 3 minutes for the 78rpm records from other companies that were popular at the time. Unfortunately, because Edison’s discs, records and phonographs were not compatible with other manufacturers’ products, the company’s ability to compete was eventually limited. However, the quality of sound reproduction demonstrated with Edisons disc technology was far superior as Edison was the acknowledged master of the art of acoustical recording. This certificate was issued when Thomas Edison’s Diamond Disc Phonograph Company was at its peak of production. It was offered in a variety of models from late 1912 to 1927, and the records or “Diamond Discs” were sold until October 1929, when the company finally closed its doors, just days before the stock market crash.

188Aug 2021DAY 4 Sunday, Aug 8 Numismatics / Medals & ExonumiaLot# 4433 1985 Society ofMedalists111,Bursting the Bonds by Don De Lue, RARE Copper Test Strike As rare as they come: this is a copper test strike of Don De Lue’s Bursting the Bonds design for the Society of Medallists, SOM-111, issued in August of 1985. It probably surfaced from scrap or production rejects in the aftermath of the 2016 bankruptcy of Northwest Territorial Mint, which had purchased Medallic Art Company in 2009. De Lue’s design was of such high relief that it took 14 cycles of striking and annealing to bring up the full relief and detail. His intent was that the background field would be removed, making the piece see-through, but production complications made that impractical. This test strike still has the untrimmed flange that remains outside the design during striking. It is about 80 x 81 mm and weighs 492 grams. A finished piece without the flange would have been 74 x 74 mm, made of bronze, and given a heavy dark patina. There were reportedly 750 finished bronze pieces issued by the Medallic Art Company Society of Medallists. There is one of these copper test strikes known, and this is it.
